Chapter 198 Qi Ke is finally released from prison ([-])
The sudden illness that Patriarch Shen had at noon was very dangerous, and now there is no way to recover from it. It is estimated that he will not survive tonight. Everyone in Shen's house is already preparing white cloth and silk, and there is crying in the inner house, and the family members gather around the patriarch's bed to see him off. last leg.

Patriarch Shen is about to die, but Bai Qing doesn't want the case of the Shen family's robbing people's property to just go away. The patriarch is gone and there are clan elders, someone has to take responsibility. If you want people to die like a lamp goes out, it's not that bad easy.

The Bai family army has just arrived and still doesn't know the relationship between the main families in the local area. Bai Qing ordered the master to come up with a few lists, and tomorrow he will send someone to take the names on the list from Shen's house and invite those elders who are going to the funeral to come to the yamen for tea. .

The county lord and the Shen family have cooperated many times, and the money has been exchanged many times, all of which are in black accounts. Those old things have to be overturned, and the original victims will be punished. This is a rare opportunity. Bai Qing made up his mind to use the Shen family to make a name for himself , play a show of killing chickens and monkeys.

The yamen was busy with their own preparations, and the sick and injured historians and county magistrates also sent people to visit. The carriage to the Qianhu Office was also bustling with activity, with six young people of similar age chattering endlessly.

"The collusion between the officials and the gentry is too abominable. If you dare to say that you kill people, so what if you kill people? Faced with gangsters who come to steal your property, if you don't kill them, you will keep them alive?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Chengyin's elder brother Chengfeng Chengbai has been assigned to Erma Town. He will take care of you in the future, and we will visit you often to ensure that you will not be bullied again."

"It will take several days for this case on your body to be completely concluded. You just treat it as playing in the county these few days, and we will accompany you every day."

"We saw you on the pier on the day you were brought by the official, but there was no evidence at that time that could not compete with the power of the collusion between the official and the gentry. Fortunately, God is on our side, and there is an important piece of evidence After getting a lot of money, I can finally come to pick you up."

"That's right, it's strange in their yamen these days. Except for one head secretary who is alive and kicking, the county officials, county magistrates, and Dian Shi are all sick and injured. It's really unlucky."

"It must be that God can't see it anymore. We just use the hands of our Bai family army to clean up the mess. We can do things after cleaning up. Otherwise, the sergeant is fighting in the front, and the local government took the opportunity to drag us down and cause us to lose the battlefield. There have been ghosts before. of."

The place in the caravan is small, everyone is sitting shoulder to shoulder, Qi Ke can wrap himself in a cloak, smile and listen to their chatter to comfort him.

"When the frontline is fighting desperately, is it any good for the local government to deliberately slow down? Is it good for those officials to lose the battle?"

"A defeat on the battlefield means that the army is incompetent. Local officials can write countless notes and go to Beijing to scold us. The gentlemen in the capital only care about winning or losing on the battlefield, but no matter how difficult we fight. Just like this time, the court will There were no reinforcements, we emptied all the military resources, killed and injured countless soldiers, and finally lost the battle. The imperial court scolded the generals and transferred us to defend the coast. Even military households can’t take it away.”

"Fortunately, you have brought out all the military households. Otherwise, there are so many empty villages, and the food and grass of the army would have to rely on cooperation with the local and gentry, and be controlled by others."
